Big Bend Ranch State Park: The state park sits on more than 269,000 acres in West Texas. Robert O. Anderson, who owned more than 220,000 acres, offered the property to Texas for $36 per acre in the 1980s. He later sold the property for $8.8 million to the state.

Appraised Value: The state park isn’t valued by the Brewster or Presidio County appraisal districts, but nearby areas are selling for a range of $526 to $1,250 per acre. Those prices would put Big Bend’s value between $141 million to 337 million.
